I guess I will switch Xbox live to game pass for November 10. Did anyone see the auxiliary external hard drive in their travels? I’ll wait for the inevitable size increase prior to buying but just wondered if anyone saw them out there.
So they tossed us a curveball - traditional external drives won't work for Series X games, only for One/360/Original Xbox games.

For Series X games, you'll need the nvme expandable storage (which aren't available yet).

“You can continue to use your existing USB 3.1+ external hard drives on Xbox Series X and you can run Xbox One, 360 and OG Xbox games directly from the external USB HDD,” explains a Microsoft spokesperson. “Games optimized for Xbox Series X and the Velocity Architecture need to be run from the internal SSD or the Expandable Storage Drive.”
